KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Platinum has outperformed gold this year, rising about 57% and holding in the mid $1,600s per ounce.
- Strong investment flows and rising Chinese jewellery demand are playing a major role in supporting the rally.
- A projected 2025 supply deficit adds further support, although a slowdown in investor activity could still affect momentum.
Strong investment interest, growing Chinese jewellery demand, and a tighter supply outlook explain why Platinum is gaining attention.
Platinum has moved faster than gold this year, recording a YTD jump of roughly 57% with prices holding in the mid $1,600s per ounce.
Trading activity has remained active, and futures positioning shows steady interest rather than short-term speculation.
These signals suggest the rally has real support behind it.

How ETF Flows And Physical Buying Are Supporting Platinum’s Surge
Investors have increased their exposure through Platinum ETFs, bars, and coins. Market updates show meaningful ETF inflows and strong physical buying, with some quarters bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars.
This has reduced available metal in major warehouses and added more pressure on the supply side.
When investment demand grows alongside rising prices, it often strengthens the trend rather than weakening it.

China’s Jewellery Demand And Its Impact On Platinum
China platinum demand is playing a much bigger role.
Jewellery fabrication is rising, and forecasts point to double-digit growth in 2025. China is also becoming a key source of bar and coin demand.
This shift is crucial because physical buying removes material from the market instead of simply rotating through financial accounts.
That change in the demand mix has helped stabilize platinum’s climb this year.
Why Platinum’s Supply Gap Matters For The Market
Analysts expect a noticeable Platinum supply deficit in 2025, with total output projected to fall to multi-year lows.
Reports from WPIC and other research groups estimate a shortfall in the hundreds of thousands of ounces.
A supply gap often supports higher prices, but the market still carries risks.
If investment flows slow or investors take profits, platinum could give back some gains.

Conclusion
Platinum stands out this year because of strong performance, active investment flows, rising Chinese demand, and a tighter supply picture.
The next few months will come down to how ETFs behave, how Chinese buyers respond to higher prices, and whether supply remains constrained.
